Preventative medicine

Modern medicine too often neglects preventative health care, waiting instead until disease has become sufficiently entrenched in the human system to declare the patient ‘sick’ , then engaging the spmptoms of the disease in a running battle of suppression. Modern medical care thus becomes an escalating war against increasingly severe symptoms, which continue to arise time and again throughout the body, while th root cause of the condition continues to fester unattended within. Many people are no convinced that the expensive chemicals, electonic gadgets, ad radical surgical procedures employed y modern medicine to treat the symptoms of the disease often do as much harm as good to the human system and sometimes create the conditions for even worse health problems later in life.

SO what can we do to protect our health and nurse our minor ailments at home, before they become major diseases that require us to spend fortunes on modern drugs and surgery? We could begin by recognizing the fundamental tenet of traditional Chinese medicine that most health problems are self-inflicted and that the cause of most disease is the failure to take proper preventative measures.

Next, we might recall that the best medicines and safest remedies still come, as they always have, from the mountains and valleys, fields and streams, forests and lakes that form our natural living environments.

Finally, we should take a hard, objective view at precisely what constitutes medicine. Many of the drugs introduced over the past fifty years by the modern medical industry produce unforeseen side effects: and many of them; such as antidepressants and sleeping pills, are highly addictive. By contrast, the traditional herbal remedies introduced in this book are founded on thousands of years of continuous research, development, and ongoing clinical experience, further validated today by scientific medical studies: these remedies are designed to “correct the root cause, not the superficial symptoms” of human disease.

Using Chinese herbal remedies at home is neither costly nor complicated, particularly when utilized for long-term preventative health care. When used to cure chronic or acute ailments, it’s always best to consult a professional practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest and most comprehensive – and arguably the safest and most effective -system of human healthcare in the world. It has sustained the health and longevity of the worlds longest ongoing population in the world for over five thousand years..during which time it’s practitioners have carefully recorded the results of their meticulous research and clinical experience in medieval archives that span more than three thousand years of written history.

Due to the ideographic nature of Chinese written Language, these ancient texts remain as clear and intelligible to contemporary practitioners today as they were to those who transcribed them through the ages.

Traditonal Chinese medicine is like an ancient tree of knowledge that has survived the storms of history and continues to grow and bear fruit today. Deeply rooted in the principle of yin and yang, the five elements and the principles of Tao…it spreads its healing branches far and wide to cover ‘everything under heaven’ in the broad field of human health care. Among the many branches that have sprouted from venerable old tree, herbal medicine and acupuncture constitutes the biggest and most important branches.

These are also the most ancient. the chinese credit the legendary emperor Shen Nung with discovering herbal medicine over five mellennia ago. ‘Shen Nung tasted the myriad herbs’ wrote the great Han dynasty historian Ssu-ma Chien two thousand years ago, ‘and so the art of medicine was born’

Chinese herbal medicine first evolved high up in the misty mountains of ancient China, as a by-product of Taoist hermits’ perpetual search for the elusive elixir of life purported to confer physical immortality to humans. After thousands of years of trial and error experimentation with virtually every plant, animal, and mineral in nature’s domain, the old Taoist sages finally leanrned that the only true ‘elixir’ is an invisible force that lies hidden deep within the human system and that the only immortality any human can achieve is purely spiritual, not physical. But in the course of their search, the mountain hermits discovered that the plants they’d been fiddling with for so long did in fact have all sorts of practical therapeutic benefits for the physical body, and that when correctly combined and properly prepared, they could confer health and long life to all human beings.

Modern Western medicine subscribes to the ‘single agent’ theory of disease, wherby every disease is blamed on a specific external pathogen that invades the body from the outside. Disease is thus attacked with knives, radiation and powerful chemical agenst designed to ‘kill’ the alleged invader, and in the process these weapons often lay waste to the internal organs, impair immune response, and deplete vital energies, thereby sowing the seeds of even more severe ailments later.

Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a different approach. It traces the root cause of all disease to critical imbalances and deficiencies among the various internal energies that govern and regulate the whole body. Whenever such states of imbalance or deficiency are left unchecked for too long, they eventually give rise to serious malfunctions in the body’s biochemistry and internal organ systems, and that in turn impairs immunity, lowers resistance, and creates the conditions of vulnerability which permits germs, toxins, parasites, and other pathogens to gain a foothold in the body. By the time the obvious symptoms recognized by modern medicine appear, the disease has already reached a critical stage and is very difficult to cure. Moreover, symptoms of disease often manifest themselves in parts of the body far removed from the root cause, a phenomenon well known to traditional healers but usually lost on modern specialists trained to deal with only one part of the human body.
